Skyrim - Books on the go, maps and more

Books in a game can be an odd thing  - they're certainly a welcome additition that contributes to the depth of the lore - but it can break the tension to stop and flip through a book in the middle of a deadly cave. Ovenall points out a nifty solution (found via Destructoid) at capane.us, where you can download all the books in Skyrim and load them up into your Kindle or e-reader, iPhone etc and read them offline. Great idea.

GameBanshee has kicked off their Skyrim subsite, featuring a detailed map with all the locations (city, town, fort, camp, tower, statue, burrow, stone, grove, mine and dungeon), including a 9-page .pdf version you can turn into a wall poster.

HardOCP has an .ini tweaking guide, including benchmarks of the performance impacts, while RPS has a roundup of Mods and Ends.

On the humorous side, IGN has a 100 Ways to Die in Skyrim video and, to finish, Botchweed has a chance to win a PC copy of Skyrim for social media users but you'll have to hurry because it ends very soon.
